The basics
What is commercial pressure washing?
Commercial pressure washing is the cleaning of the exterior of a business property: the storefront, the walkway out front, the entry glass, the loading area and the parking pad. Left alone, foot traffic and weather lay down a film that dulls the storefront and stains the walk, which reads as neglect to a customer walking up. The work is done with methods matched to each surface, from a gentle rinse on glass and awnings to a directed wash on concrete. A clean property reads cared for and is safer to walk up to. Most businesses benefit once the film and stains become visible, which is often after a season of heavy foot traffic.
Commercial Washing is one of the twelve exterior cleaning services on this site. If more than one surface on the property needs work, services are usually combined on a single visit, so it is worth reading the full service list and the communities covered before booking.
Scope
What does commercial pressure washing cover?
Commercial pressure washing covers the storefront facade, the entry walkway, the sidewalk frontage, the loading area and the parking pad. It lifts the foot-traffic film, the oil and tire marks in the loading zone, the green algae on shaded walks, and the dust on the facade. The wash is matched to the surface, so glass and awnings are treated gently and concrete takes a directed wash. It does not include window tinting, awning repair, or cleaning the interior of the business.

The process
How commercial washing is carried out
Every job runs in the same order, from the first walk-through to the final review, so there is no guessing about what happens next.
Prep and wash around hours
Delicate areas are masked, and a method matched to each surface is applied. The crew works around the business hours so the doors stay open and the walk stays safe for customers.
Rinse and review
The property gets a final rinse and a walk-through with the owner or manager. Any area that reads streaky is touched up before the crew leaves.
On the day
What happens on the day?
Schedule around hours
The crew works around the business hours, often before opening or after close, so customers are not walking through the wash.
Walk stays safe
The entry walk is rinsed and kept safe so the doors can stay open during the work.
Loading zone cleared
The loading area and parking pad are washed so the oil and tire marks lift.
Walk-through at the end
A walk-through with the owner or manager confirms the property reads cared for.
Before the crew arrives
How do I prepare for commercial washing?
A short list, none of it heavy work. Anything left undone is handled during the walk-through.
Clear the walk
Move sandwich boards, planters and display racks off the walk so the crew can reach the surface.
Note the hours
Tell the crew the business hours and the busy times so the wash is scheduled around them.
Point out delicate awnings
Point out fragile awnings or older glass so the rinse is set for them.
Keep the loading zone clear
Clear the loading area of pallets and bins so the surface is open.
Timing
How long does commercial washing take?
A small storefront is cleaned in a couple of hours, and a property with a long walk, a loading area and parking takes longer. The time changes with the size of the property, how heavy the film is, and whether the work is done before opening or after close. A property with deep oil in the loading zone takes longer than one with light foot-traffic film. The schedule is set around the business hours.
Signs to look for
How do I know I need commercial washing?
Film on the storefront
A gray film on the facade and glass is dust and traffic grime dulling the storefront.
Oil in the loading zone
Dark oil and tire marks in the loading area are vehicle grime sinking into the surface.
Green film on the walk
A green, slippery film on the shaded walk is algae feeding on the concrete.
Stains at the entry
Dark stains at the entry are foot traffic and spills sitting on the walk.

My stucco came out fantastic! We have tried different products before to clean it and nothing seemed to work. I was pleasantly surprised at how great it came out. All the old black and mildew is gone! Will be using this company in future as needed! Thanks, Cooper!
Questions
Commercial Washing questions, answered
Can you wash around my business hours?
Yes. The crew works around the business hours, often before opening or after close, so customers are not walking through the wash. The schedule is set during the walk-through so the doors stay open and the walk stays safe.
Is commercial washing safe for awnings and glass?
Yes, when the method is matched to the surface. Awnings and entry glass are rinsed gently so the fabric is not cut and the glass is not etched, while the concrete walk takes a directed wash. The walk-through sets the right method for each surface.
How often should a commercial property be washed?
Most businesses do well with a wash once the film and stains become visible, which is often after a season of heavy foot traffic. Properties with a busy loading zone collect oil faster and need it sooner. There is no fixed schedule.
Do you clean the interior of the business?
No, commercial washing covers the exterior: the facade, the walk, the loading area and the parking pad. The interior of the business is not part of the service.
What affects the price of commercial washing?
The price depends on the size of the property, the surfaces involved, and how heavy the film and oil are. Cooper quotes the job after the walk-through so the price reflects the actual work. Call (504) 414-4449 for a quote.
What if it rains on the scheduled day?
Steady rain or high wind pushes the job to another day, because the wash needs dry conditions to work and to let the surfaces dry evenly. If the job is rescheduled, the crew coordinates the next available day so the work stays on track without forcing it into conditions that would undo the work.
Do I need to be home for the work?
You do not have to be home for the wash itself, as long as the crew can reach the surfaces and an outdoor water spigot. Many homeowners prefer to be there for the walk-through at the start and the review at the end, but it is not required.
How long do the results last?
The results last as long as the conditions that caused the growth stay the same. A sun-facing surface holds clean longer than a shaded one, because the sun dries the surface and keeps algae from setting. The wash clears the growth, but the shade and the moisture set when it returns.
